No actually its a known issue with many ics roms and causes heavy battery drain in most cases and is not just a misreporting thing although I have seen that once or twice.
[Captivate Android Development] mabovalu:
I seem to lose all, save for ~ 50 of my contacts each day. I know I am doing something I shouldn't, or conversely, not doing something I should.

Maybe I should be synching Google? Or not synching?

I have them backed-up, and can restore them quickly (Go Contacts, My Phone Explorer).

If anyone has any tips I'd welcome them.
[Captivate Android Development] jcurtis369:
Oh my bad i thought i read from multiple devs saying its a bug with 4.0.3 and that it doesn't cause heavy battery drain but ive searched and searched and cant find some proof so your prob right :D
[Captivate Android Development] isa.ahmed:
is there any way i can save battry ? as in few mint it gose from 100% to 95%

wifi is off, and nothing is runing...

i used other ICS prot from Samsung Galaxy Nexus , and it was more saver in term of battry.

but this kills the battry fast.
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
For the people that don't already know the android os percentage being high is due to a development error. Instead of screen on time being subtracted from android os stats it is added this is fixed in version 4.04 there is no android os bug it is just a problem with calculation

[Captivate Android Development] BoldFace:
Exactly. You're battery life is not being affected by the miscalculation.

V14b5

Thanks for the feedback. I did not know it was with Glitch kernel issue. I just switched to V14b5 this week but I had the same issue with this roms kernel, which was one reason I went with V14b5.
[Captivate Android Development] LongLiveCappy92:
You can adjust this under the Galaxy S Settings app. If you open it up and go to Backlight Timeout under Touch Keys you can select the time you want it to stay on. I have mine on Never
[Captivate Android Development] alan7825:
I, unfortunately, do not have a Backlight timeout. When I go to settings, there is nothing for backlight.
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
anyone in or near Connecticut that can tell me what modem they are using because although I have tried ics kg3 back in kg1 now I get great clarity and everyone hears me all works well except i'm getting a million droped calls thought at first could have been a kernel modem thing but i switched to glitch kernel and same issue and before anyone asks just got out of 7 day icu hospital stay so really didint read too many pages
[Captivate Android Development] alan7825:
Backlight for dummies

I am an idiot...see I can admit when I do dumb things. I kept looking at the wrong settings unitl I actually went to Galaxy S settings. I found the backlight setting. Man am I ever a dumba&&.

thanks.

I was wondering if there is a difference between the ICS for the I9000 vs Captivate? When I boot my phone it say Galaxy S I9000 but I have the I897 ICS installed. I am on AT&T and it seems to run fine. I purchased this phone from someone who I think was on T-Mobile since it is a SIM based phone, so I don't know if it really a Captivate or an I9000. Back in the GB and earlier days I flashed roms for the 9000 and for the captivate. I am not liking the phone layout in the ICSSGS Captivate rom so I was thinking of making a change.

thanks.

I've been using JL3 on my Captivate here in CT, seems to do pretty well. Just applied the GPS fix from another thread, going to see how that works out (on an old GB CM 7 nightly). Also going to try and update to RC4 ICS for it,

RE: Attaching Widgetsoid bar to drop down.

Would greatly appreciate it if you would share the steps you used to do this. Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] rmewpm:
create widget with wiggetsoid and on advanced tab click on notification
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
It still won't work because of the B5 kernel. BLM was added back in which caused both it and CMLed to not work with ICSSGS. CMLed will light but doesn't stay on. Goes off after 5 seconds.

Yes. You want 897. You see 9000 on boot because of the bootloaders.

Use Nova Launcher and change the layout to however you like.

Anyone know if the above flashable ICS drop down toggle mod would work with this rom ?
[Captivate Android Development] electech13:
ok that's what i thought but then wouldn't it be consistant? ie always 30%+ like it has been reported... but then i see it at 8%...so that's where the confusion comes in...and i thought i've read that there can be more drain on batt..but guess im wrong..

so *if* one is being affected by the os miscalculation as you say then it is normal to be up and down and not consistantly misreporting? cuz i did read that the misreport problem you mention has it always at the high number..

thanks for any info you have
[Captivate Android Development] visionlogic:
Thanks rmewpm!
[Captivate Android Development] Wakamatsu:
Never knew what those notification and make invisible check boxes were for. Much thanks.

Is there a way to make the widget stay at the top of the notification? For me, it drops down the list when I get notification of a text, phonecall, etc.
[Captivate Android Development] sthodupunuri:
After I flash this, it keeps booting to the glitch cwm. When I hit reboot device, it still keeps going to cwm
[Captivate Android Development] Spidious:
After installing it says i9000 instead of the att logo and the i897. Did something go wrong or is that normal ?

I would search for the answer, but the search button for the page seems to be missing ?

The ICSSGS ROM flash was ok? Or you just flashed Glitch after flashing the ROM?

Are you sure you didnt install the i900 GB bootloaders instead of the ones for the Captivate?
[Captivate Android Development] nuwan32:
so my camera stopped working randomly.... the screen is just black. then i tried clearing data/cache but now it disappeared completely from my launcher and i cant reinstall it. i even reflashed the rom but it doesnt come back up. help please?
[Captivate Android Development] crusecontrl:
Happened to me once too...hit the camera swap button and it should work again.
[Captivate Android Development] Spidious:
Strange it said i897 and had the att white globe before the flash. I will re install the i897 boot loader.

I just reinstalled the i897 bootloader and now mine has the att logo come up, glitch kernel, glitch kernal flashes and then it gos back to cmw ?

HELP !
[Captivate Android Development] capocaccia:
It's called a boot loop. Read up before you flash next time as they talk about this occurring a lot.

Here's a hint though, when it gets into recovery, clear data and cache.
[Captivate Android Development] DemonWav:
Reflash the rom, sounds like you don't have a build.prop...or a lot of other things.
[Captivate Android Development] Spidious:
OK HELP !

I did clear cache,dalvik

Tried reflash a couple of time..

Now my phone has a picture of the cell phone...!...Computer..

It says firmware upgrade fail !

Try using recovery mode..

i tried that before i cleared the cached and data on the cmera app but it didnt work. and now the camera app ont show up.. so how am i supposed to even launch it?
[Captivate Android Development] Spidious:
Sorry for asking for help on your rom..

I installed [ICS][4.0.3]Doc's Master ICS V5 Kiss My New Baby and it works flawlessly. Plus it looks really nice..

Good luck on your work..

Now to go over to EBay and sell this thing while it still works.. Have three Apple iPhones in the house now that... Well in a few words...they work ! Not as pretty. But nothing as nice as needing to use the phone and have it work like a iPhone !
[Captivate Android Development] capocaccia:
2 things.

One, this isnt my rom. It belongs to Team ICSSGS. Its ok to ask for help.

Two, the reason I said go to Q and A is to prevent this thread becoming muddled with discussion other than development and quick support questions.

Glad to see you got it fixed though.
[Captivate Android Development] b-eock:
He did a bootloader flash while on a MTD ROM, which no matter how many times you reflash the ROM, it WILL NOT BOOT. You have to flash back to stock with ODIN...

does anyone know why when i try to run the game Modern Combat 3, it gets stuck in a loop on the loading screen and wont load? does this game work for anyone else on this rom?
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
Works for me
[Captivate Android Development] snoboarder071:
Find it in your app drawer. Doing a clear wouldn't have erased it from your phone. If somehow you did uninstall it, you need to restore from a backup or reflash. once you find it, if the screen is still black, hit the little picture of the camera with the circle-shaped arrow beneath it.

Edit: just read your post before that. Strange! If all else fails, I'm sure a flash back to stock then a flash back to this rom would fix it. There's probably an easier way though. I'd try a titanium backup restore of the app if you have one
[Captivate Android Development] nuwan32:
i dont have a tibu restore. can u do one for me? would be appreciated. i also tried browsing to system/app and installing the apk but after installation there open button is unclickable and its not there in app drawer or anything.
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
You need to do some serious research considering your not even familiar with TiBU. That being said, just reflash the ROM. It will reinstall the camera app
[Captivate Android Development] nuwan32:
how am i not familiar with TiBu? and if u bothered to read some of the other posts youd know that i said twice now that i reflashed the rom and it didnt work.
[Captivate Android Development] DJSave:
I reinstalled RC4.2 from stock, and now my Gallery crashes when I open any image or video from camera album or bluetooth. widget works fine, also if I open pictures from file expert, they work just fine

Gallery app opens fine, displays my albums , but when I open a picture or video , it crashes. using Glitch B5 kernel.

any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] Psychemage:
Clear data. If that doesn't work, grab the apk from the ROM zip and push it with adb. If that doesn't work, try tibu if you have a backup created. when all those fail, reinstall or use a different gallery app. =) good luck and let us know what works.
[Captivate Android Development] Psychemage:
To be fair, he's not necessarily saying he's not familiar with tibu. I, for instance, don't have a backup of my camera app. So I can poorly word my sentence in such a way that it seems I'm not familiar with tibu when in fact I just don't have all apps backed up.
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
Because you asked previously if he could do a TiBU restore for you. That is impossible unless you physically hand him your phone to do it for you since a TiBU restore is done on the individual phone itself. And yes I read that you had already reflashed the ROM but given the preceding statement was not sure as to the validity of said actions.

Try manually pulling the camera apk from the ROM zip and replacing into sys/app folder. Then reboot into recovery , wipe cache and dalvik and then reboot. See if doesn't show up in your app drawer after that. No need to"install" done this way. Might get lucky and have it take. I had to do this with email app once
[Captivate Android Development] ldmelo:
It seems to be possible to install apps using a TiBU backup from someone else's phone.
[Captivate Android Development] DJSave:
Clearing data didn't help. I couldn't mange drivers on my system for adb, so I used Root explorer and replaced apk with that, rebooted but no luck

now I'm using 3D Gallery :)
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Have to set permissions if you just place it in system/app unless you are placing it by means of adb that is. Not that you didn't know that, but he clearly needs help so details are needed.

[Captivate Android Development] daskanda:
You, need to set permissions after manually moving apk too system/app for it to work
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
Yes, you can use the a tibu b/up file created by someone else' phone to restore an app on your phone but you still need to have that file and put it on your own phone. Someone else can't do that for you unless they physically have your phone or are telpathic.

It's like me saying to you, " I can't get into download mode on my phone, can you do it for me ?"

But enough of this rabbit trail. Obviously what he meant is not what he wrote and that led to my misinterpretation so let's just try to get his camera working.
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
well said Scottie. Only features that can make this better in my eyes:

1. Back button kills app (AWESOME)

2. Merge galaxy s settings app in with regular settings.

[Captivate Android Development] autocorrelation:
are there any other kernels I can run other than Platypus? Preferably ones that don't UV/OC, as I've been getting horrible reboot problems.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Platypus doesn't UV/OC unless you mess with it. Only other kernel is Icy Glitch. Reboots are usually a sign you are messing with something and your phone doesn't like it. IF its at stock settings then usually means its something else.
[Captivate Android Development] nuwan32:

Here are a few questions not yet asked I believe.

1.) Is it possible if you are already on Alpha 6 with i9000 bootloaders to odin flash Captivate Bootloaders(I have the Bootloaders Only I used to use when switching from i9000 to Captivate newer builds) only without screwing anything up?

2.) Is it possible to flash my favorite radio. KC1 or JL2?

3.) Is charging with phone off possible with newer kernel?

I notice for unknown calls it actually tells you what state the caller is from based on the area code. Is this new to ICS? Never heard them mention it before. Will it ever get as accurate as listing the city based on area code?

You actually have to flash the kernal first, then flash the rom, then flash the kernal again.
